A Kentucky businessman today pled guilty to paying a $400,000 bribe to Congressman Bill Jefferson of Louisiana. Particularly sad, because Jefferson was one of the most reasonable Democrats to work with.
The filing deadline in Louisiana is quite late: August 11. The district is heavily Democratic, so there's not much chance of a Republican gain here. Since there are a number of Democratic candidates already in the race, it looks like Mr. Jefferson's career has probably come to an end.
Back to the top.
